Kroger Brand Spring Dinners

I love being able to try things for free being a buzz agent but I can say my family loved doing this one with me.

My Buzz kit came with coupons for a Pork loin "Moist & Tender" . A box of Cake mix, I picked Chocolate.  A can of frosting, my son wanted vanilla.  A container of Crescent rolls, we picked buttery.  A tub of Mashed potatoes.   All of these were the Kroger brand items.

The Moist & Tender pork loin I baked in the oven.   It lived up to it's name with flying stars.  It was very yummy and couldn't have been any more moist and tender.    I didn't braze it, I just took it out of it's package and right in the baking dish.  I used some fried onion chips and a honey mustard bbq sauce on the loin when baking it.   This is my families' favorite way of eating pork loin.

The Crescent rolls were the butter flavor.  They were flaky and buttery.  They tasted just like the name brand ones I have always bought before.  The crescent rolls didn't make it long.  Everyone wanted more of them.

I made cup cakes out of the cake mix.  We need portion control in this house and that was the easiest way.  They were so moist and delicious.  I used  4 table spoons of Coconut oil instead of the butter and used Carbmasters Vanilla milk to add some protein instead of the water. 
The cake mix only had 3 ingredients you had to add,  water, eggs, and butter.
Everyone that ate one said they were great.

The mashed potatoes were the only thing that was horrible in my opinion.  They had a very funny taste to them.  A family member told me it tasted like a cardboard taste.    The consistency was the same as any other prepackaged mashed potatoes.
I always make my mashed potatoes from scratch so I may not be the best person to give an opinion about packaged potatoes.  But I have personally tasted TV dinner potatoes that were better than these.
I tried the potatoes first and made a couple family members also try it before adding salt, pepper, cheese, and bacon to the potatoes to try to make it taste good.   Even after adding all that to them, they still tasted strange.  The odd flavor just wouldn't go away.

Everything besides the mashed potatoes were fantastic and I would recommend that you try them if you are going to pick a name brand of the same thing.
